Dr. Ray is a medical graduate from Nilratan Sircar Medical College, Kolkata, India. After his medical school he trained in Anatomy and Developmental Neurobiology at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India. His research focus during this training was development of human auditory pathway with particular focus on early myelination in peripheral cochlear nerve. He moved to the US in 2007 and completed his Neurology residency at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock and Neurocritical Care fellowship at UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas. He is board certified in Neurology and Neurocritical Care by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.
After completion of his clinical training Dr. Ray joined as an Assistant Professor in Neurology at The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City. He led in expansion the Neurocritical Care Unit at Oklahoma University Medical Center after becoming the medical director of the unit. He also was the medical director of clinical research in the department of Neurology and served in several leadership positions both in the department and the hospital. Subsequently, he moved back to UT Southwestern Medical Center as the medical director of the new Neurocritical Care Unit at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, Dallas. In addition, his academic appointment is as an Associate Professor in Neurology with secondary appointment in Neurological Surgery.
His clinical interests include hemorrhagic stroke, coma, status epilepticus, acute neuromuscular disorders and traumatic brain injury. He has been involved in several investigator initiated projects in subarachnoid hemorrhage, acute ischemic stroke and also participates in multicenter clinical trials. His primary research interest include studying body's response to acute brain injury with special focus on hypercoagulability and immune response.
He also is involved in medical education through training medical students, residents and clinical fellows and mentors trainees in their research projects. He was awarded outstanding attending physician by neurology residents in 2018 and most influential medical educator by graduating neurology residents in 2015 at The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City.
